Overall, Kog'Maw sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Kog'Maw is paired with Olaf, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage dealt. This change may signal that Olaf does not help cover for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Kog'Maw is played together with Olaf on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Olaf.
Additionally, when Kog'Maw plays with Olaf on the same team, he on average receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Kog'Maw in team fights.

This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Kog'Maw and Olaf that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Olaf has a much lower diffuclty than Kog'Maw. That means Kog'Maw players don't need to be very careful when lining up Olaf teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to do well with you.
Playing together, Kog'Maw players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by grouping Kog'Maw and Olaf together, you probably will not be providing your team enough utility. Plan to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their kit.
Regardless of your Olaf ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
